DNA

Some people are a little lazy;
Others just a wee bit crazy.
Some are neat and some are slobs;
Certain folks can’t hold down jobs.

There are those who love to roam;
Their counterparts remain at home.
Some are quiet, others loud,
Standing out in any crowd.

Some love Nature, others don’t;
Some take risks while others won’t.
There are those who must have pets;
Also those who shrink from bets.

There are people who crave action;
Some can’t get no satisfaction.
Kvetchers really must complain;
Others calmly handle pain.

Changing things might be your goal,
But how you are you can’t control.
Accept the fact that you can’t stray
Too far from your own DNA.

Programmed in your very cells
Are codes creating joys or hells.
Some deny that they exist,
Yet patterns constantly persist.

Things can change to some extent.
To therapists, that’s evident;
But mostly, we remain the slave
To DNA our parents gave.
